PhD opportunities
If you’re interested in geomorphology, glacial and river processes, climate change, or advanced numerical modelling, check out these exciting PhD projects:
ExaGEO and IAPETUS2 programs
These are fully-funded, competitive PhD opportunities.
ExaGEO DLA
-
Scotland landscape response to past abrupt climate change: GPU-accelerated numerical simulations and model-data integration
-
Extreme weather event impacts from global warming in the UK
-
Data-Driven and Physics-Informed Hybrid Modelling of Landslide Dynamics
For detailed project descriptions, please search the project titles on this page. The application deadline is 9 January 2026.
IAPETUS DTP
- Sediment release from glacial valleys in a changing climate: Interactions between valley morphology, sediment dynamics, and climate variations
Please refer to this link for further details. Please note that international applicants must contact me before 8 December 2025, and the application deadline is 5 January 2026
College Scholarship at the University of Glasgow
The School of Geographical and Earth Sciences usually offers one or two College PhD Scholarships each year. Please see this link for further details about the scholarship, and I am happy to discuss potential PhD projects with students who intend to apply.
Other externally funded opportunities
I am always happy to discuss potential PhD projects with students who have or intend to apply for external funding (China’s CSC Scholarship, for example). Please get in touch if you have a research idea related to the broad theme of interactions between climate and Earth surface processes.
